The Pros And Cons Of Public Schools

High school is a scary place. As an eighth grader, high school felt like some big, daunting shadow looming over me. However, in my experiences I’ve come to realize that not all high schools are the same. In fact, it wasn’t the high schools themselves that scared me, it was the decision I would have to make: which high school would I attend? There are two major types of high schools: public and private. Two similar entities that entail completely different experiences. Public schools offer a more real world feel – the variety of teachers, students, and extracurriculars provide a strong basis for life in the future. However, people often argue that private schools have a leg up on public schools – especially when the private school is highly…show more content…All companies, schools, and collective groups are in desperate search for something as simple as a mix of genders, races, attitudes, talents, and beliefs. In high school, the first thing that really surprised me was the apparent variety. The student population at my high school was a vast mix of all human characteristics, there were Catholics and Atheists, poor and rich, Caucasians and Africans, “goths” and “jocks”, and just about any type of classification you could make of a single person. Beyond the students, there was even a variety in teachers; teachers from all walks of life: born in foreign countries, raised in tough single parent households, and just about any background imaginable. With such a large mix of people, it only makes sense that there be a “home” for all. It was a consistent point of emphasis at my high school to “join a group” or “get involved”. There were groups for everyone; the groups literally were created so that anyone and everyone would be included. Groups such as the LGSTB, a group dedicated to lesbians, gays, straights, transgenders, and bisexuals, were formed in the ideal of what way can we create a group to express beliefs without excluding anyone from the equation. These were things I had only experienced in the public school system. In the private school system, it seems as if everyone comes from a similar background: their parents most likely paid their tuition for them, they were all forced to…show more content…For months I couldn’t decide between the two. In grade school I attended a private school across the street from McNicholas. To start my day I would attend a math class at McNicholas and afterwards walk to my school. From an early point in time I was exposed to what my high school experience would entail at McNicholas and in my opinion it was less than pleasant. The students were all the same, the same beliefs, the same clothes, and the same attitudes. The main thing drawing me to McNicholas was the group of friends I had grown up. By not attending McNicholas I would be leaving the social life I had lived for the past nine years. Turpin however, was something different; it was a new start. By going to Turpin I would be forcing myself out of my previous inner circle into new experiences. I knew very few people attending Turpin and I really had no clue about what life at Turpin would be. About halfway through my eighth grade year I took a day off of school to shadow Turpin and what I experienced was something I’ll never forget. The environment was unparalleled, the students were lively and the teachers embraced the fact that they had an unfamiliar face in the classroom – it simply felt right. Ultimately it was the environment, the freedom, and the change of scenery that drew me to Turpin and it is a choice I never second

into the school parking lot. As we turn the corner my legs begin to shake and my palms are getting clammy, this is my first day of high school. All I could do was think about the dramatic change in class size, I am coming from a school where there are only about three hundred kids in the entire school to a school where there are about three thousand kids in the entire school. This would not be as scary of experience except for the fact that the majority of the kids from my middle school went to the

Some students have to take the journey to a whole other town, city, or even to another state. The distance from home, family, and friends, can cause students to be in a depressed state. The new atmosphere of college is very exciting to students; but at times very scary. For some students, adapting to classes and all of their homework can get overwhelming

The goal of Sandseter’s observational study is to categorize risky play as no other study has done so before. The study takes place over five weeks (October to November) and takes place in in two separate Norwegian preschools, with a total of 38 children in total, 19 per school. There is also an equal amount of boys and girls taking part in the observations. The preschools recreational areas are fenced in with trees, a fixed playground, and climbing

Loosely inspired by the real life Gainesville Ripper, writer Kevin Williamson developed the full script of Scream, originally titled “Scary Movie,” in just three days, after secluding himself in Palm Springs. At the time, Williamson was an aspiring screenwriter, who felt concerned about the idea of intruders lurking through his open windows. This thought paralleled the actions of serial

Cemeteries are important to bringing perspective and serenity, because they bring us a connection to where we came from, help us realize the delicacy of life, and they help us to relax a little bit through their calmness. I have had so many things impact my life and they all seem to end up in the same place. Cemeteries are not

Some parents are skeptical about the idea of having their children trained in CPR, and they have reason to. Giving CPR to strangers, feeling pressured in tense situations, and being encouraged, even pressured, into giving CPR makes being trained in it a scary thing. However, with the Good Samaritan laws we have in place today, along with the knowledge and training that comes from these classes, being trained

the school cafeteria. Scary, right? As scary as it sounds scenarios from horror movies are playing out in schools all over America. You are eating lunch in the cafeteria and a student enters the cafeteria and starts firing off a firearm. First instinct is to scream for help and get on the ground, but why are scenes like this taking place in the learning place. The place where we are told we are the safest, maybe even safer than home. If school is so much safer than home then why are school shootings

from this first semester in Mr. McGee 's class is Demon Lover by Elizabeth Bowen. This story ran shivers down my spin, and not in a good way. The shivers were the “freaky, scary” shiver that you get when you are in a spooky, scary place. Course, I just had to put this as one of my favorite poems, because it was pretty freaky and scary. Firstly, when Mrs. Drover first enters her locked up home in London during World War II, she finds a letter with no return address and wonders how on earth that letter
